I sort of fell into real estate when I bought my first house in 2005 at 22 in Baltimore, moved 2 years later down here to NOVA and then realized I hated renting and bought a 2nd house down here.

The property we just bought kind of fell in our lap via a dinner conversation with a family member.

I had a cash 1031E offer on the whole deal easy quick, not worries, but it fell apart because 1) the condition of the properties 2) bad management team.

I hope all our U.S. friends are enjoying turkey with family - or serving a Thanksgiving Dinner to those less fortunate.I'm felling over-indulged and bloated just thinking about you ;)

The town apparently did not like the idea and the deal fell through.

I've been reading like crazy, listening to podcasts, scouring the internet, but I still don't fell like I know enough to get started.

Once that is finish I fell like I could increase my rent by 300 a month.I only plan on living here 2-3 years but would like to hold on to the property as an investment.

It was after that that the axe fell and I walked away from it all.

@Darren Flater proving to others that it can be done is a great felling!

It was about 3 inches deep and when I dug down (after smelling gas), it fell apart when I touched it.
